Yeah, I can tell why this is from adhddd.com, it’s all about assertiveness. People with ADHD in general (including myself, to an extent) have trouble with being assertive, so most of the phrases in this chart try to change a meek or mild-mannered response to a more assertive one. I think part of the struggle of life is finding balance because while some of these are generally improvements, others are generally worse, and the difference will depend on the tone you’re going for and the person that you’re sending the email.
Most of that traffic is probably lurkers and content consumers. Reddit will continue chugging along for a bit, but the loss of power users and mods is about guaranteed to wither the platform over time.
You’re correct, of course, but these types of communities tend to be occupied by people outside of the mainstream who care more about these issues. Also, I think it’s important people have the freedom to repair the technology they own even if the majority of people will choose not to, having the ability is still important.
The quality of the posts being worse makes sense, I’m guessing some of the Reddit power users moved here and they were generating the majority of quality OC on Reddit.
During the final days I spent on the platform, Reddit was starting to become very generic. Many subreddits, despite being about theoretically different topics, devolved into a generic Reddit frontpage community. Even if Lemmy becomes a lot more popular, my hope is that the communities here will stay somewhat distinct and won’t become as much of circlejerks.
We are now the 16th largest instance on Lemmyverse, with 497 weekly active users and 712 monthly active users. Great job everybody, we are doing great. The community that we’ve cultivated here is really friendly and the server has been running very well. Also, remember that if you’re enjoying the Lemmy experience here to...
The vibrant ecosystem of third party apps is what made Reddit, from what I’ve heard even the official app is a reskin of what used to be a third party apps. Pushing that ecosystem to Lemmy (I have 7 actively developing Lemmy apps installed on my phone) could spell eventual death for Reddit, and was a very unwise long term decision.
The Verge's coverage of this so far has been really good. It's probably because they think drama like this will get a lot of clicks, but even still I've enjoyed their articles.
It's exciting to see all these apps ramping up development. Honestly, the greatest gift that Reddit gave to the fediverse is sending all their former third party developers here, because that will greatly accelerate development.
It's honestly hilarious Reddit bungled this so badly as to upset everyone. Ah well, at least with this digital piracy community I can rest assured a corporation isn't censoring discourse.
If this goes through, I think it would be really good news. Battery failure is one of the leading things that force people to replace their smartphones, and having them be replaceable would go a long way towards making smartphones last longer.
Wow, since my post yesterday, lemmy.world has added 2000+ new users to cross the 30000 user mark! Just think, it was only at 20k three days ago. Crazy growth....
I’ve been talking with @pyarra, and we agreed it would be best to discuss this as a community. What are all of your thoughts on defederating instances with loli and shota? My thoughts will be posted in the comments.
Oh yeah, I'm actually a software engineer. I had experience with C and Java, as well as some higher-level languages like Javascript and Python, so for learning Rust it has mainly moreso been learning which function is in which library and how the syntax for the language works, rather than learning programming fundamentals.
Not sure if this is isolated to me, but when sorting by Active, my Subscribed, Local and All feeds pretty much don't change for multiple days. I have to sort by New, Hot, etc. to get new content, but even those feeds stay somewhat constant....
The algorithms I believe. Both active and hot are currently a bit broken, as are a few other things. Their biggest problem is they have trouble deprioritizing older posts, which leads to them getting more activity, keeping them high on the prioritization list. I've found sorting by new comments, new, and top (today) are really good ways to explore the site, and I've heard that the Lemmy devs are working on a fix for the broken algorithms. You can also hide read posts in your settings, though that has some drawbacks.
After the (temporary) defederation announcement of earlier i checked the Lemmy repo to see if there was already a ticket on the federation limiting option like Mastodon's that people mentioned Lemmy doesn't yet have. Not only i didn't find it, i also saw that there's about 200+ open tickets of variable importance. Also saw that...
I am a Software Engineer by trade, and I'm right now trying to learn and contribute to their code base but unfortunately, it takes a lot of time to get used to someone else's code. Hopefully, contributions will pick up once we've all had some time to look at it.

Yeah, it's honestly really disappointing how back to normal everything is. There are still subs that are down, but Reddit's atmosphere feels somewhere between unchanged and more aggressive. That's something else I've noticed. A lot of people have been talking about it, but I don't think it's just from being in Lemmy, the Redditors that are still there seem to be more toxic, and the site's atmosphere feels worse.
Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder from your mod team. Don't forget to report bad actors, malicious bots, or rulebreakers whenever you see them. !asklemmy is one of the larger communities in the threadverse and it's hard to keep up, even with a larger mod team, so please report bad behavior.
